Study after study says: believe in YOU to lose weight

On point, I’ve had many heavily overweight friends who tried to lose weight.

But most gave up and went back to old habits.

However, by following through on goals and continuing forward despite negative feelings, some of them progressed and thrived.

Can you think of the difference between those who succeed and those who haven’t yet?

Real life social support from friends and family.

Positive support from own personalthoughts.

As Melissa and I discussed self-talk in the gym today, she remembered a time during her body transformation when her own mind turned against her. Her destructive thought went something like this… “gee my workouts suck lately. that guy HAS got to be thinking how I’m just too fat for this.”

Be Your Best Ally: Thoughts DO Matter!

If any harmful thought goes “un-checked” in the mind, it will be implicitly accepted as truth by your beliefs.

That means, if you let the thought slide by, it might as well be true because now your brain thinks it is.
